Tool Ideas
Suggest and support new tools
LocalTools is built from the gaps people actually hit. Describe the tool you are missing, back the ideas you would use, and watch them move from review to a working page.
When an idea is built, the name you chose is shown next to the finished tool as its suggester.
Tool inputs never leave your browser. Ideas are different: what you type into the idea form is sent to our server so it can be reviewed, translated and shown to everyone.
How it works
1. Describe what you need
Write the task in your own language. Say what you have, what you want back, and why existing tools do not fit.
2. The community backs it
Approved ideas appear on the board. Support counts show which tools people are waiting for, so the useful ones rise.
3. We build it and credit you
Once an idea is accepted it moves into development, and the finished tool page names the person who suggested it.
Ideas from visitors
Every idea is written by a visitor and shown in your language. Support the ones you would use.
This board lists every idea that passed review — not only the accepted ones. Spam and duplicates are removed before an idea appears here.

Questions about tool ideas
- Do I need an account to suggest a tool?
- No. There is no sign-up and no password. You pick a display name, write the idea and submit it. An anonymous identifier is kept on your own device so the site can recognise your own submissions.
- Can I edit or delete my idea later?
- Only from the same browser on the same device, because that is where your anonymous identity is stored. If you clear cookies and site data, or move to another device, you may no longer be able to edit or withdraw the idea.
- Why do you ask for an email address?
- It is optional. If you leave one, it is used only to tell you that your idea was accepted or that the tool is live. It is never shown on the site and never used for marketing.
- Which ideas appear on the public board?
- Every idea that passes review, whatever its status. Ideas under review, accepted ideas, ideas in development and finished tools all stay visible, so you can see the whole queue rather than only the winners.
- Can I write in my own language?
- Yes. Write in whichever language you are comfortable with. The board shows a translated version to other visitors and marks it as a translation, and the original text stays available behind View original.
- What happens when my idea is built?
- The tool gets its own page like every other LocalTools tool, runs entirely in the browser, and credits the display name you chose as the person who suggested it.
